ASUS GX-D1051 V2 5-Port Power-Saving Gigabit Switch

Upgrade you home or small office network to Gigabit with the ASUS GX-D1051 V2 switch. It uses advanced single-chip solution with complete set of industry standard features for high-speed Internet access. The sleek, yet space-saving design allows a perfect blend into any environments. And with the stability and reliability ASUS are known for, you can go through any situation and environments with full confidence.

Gigabit Switch 5x Gigabit Ethernet ports deliver substantial bandwidth for your local area network to deal with the evolving needs of modern application.

VIP, Top Priority Port In the event of outgoing traffic queuing due to insufficient bandwidth, all other queues can be halted to send the traffic from the highest priority queue upon arrival. This ensures that the prioritized traffic (such as RTP stream of a VoIP connection) is forwarded with the least delay.

Power Saving The switches can detect when a computer is turned off and will respond accordingly by powering down into standby mode and reducing power used for that port.

Rating: 4/5Nice but some quality control problems

Pros: This switch works great and I'm seeing around 80-90 mB's per second between computers.

Cons: The LED colors are reversed from what they're designed to be. I've read several other places that a lot of these asus switches have this problem. It makes me worry slightly about quality control, however if everything else keeps working it does not cause any performance problems.

Rating: 5/5Gigabit cautions

Other Thoughts: Re "Burticus" problem report: reminds me of similar experiences when replacing 10/100 devices with gigabit devices. If you have an odd cable (eg: 4 wires instead of 8, or just miswired) or you have an Ethernet surge protector (probably not designed for gigabit) in the path, you'll get extremely low and erratic speed, because the connected equipment (if gigabit-capable at both ends) will negotiate gigabit speed but be unable to deliver it. That could explain why putting the 10/100 switch back into your loop fixed the problem, and it could happen with any gigabit switch, not just this one. Or else your new Asus was just defective.

Rating: 3/5Switch ok, Rebate not ok

Pros: Have been using switch for over 1 month, works ok, no issue. I needed a cheap switch for connecting multiple game machines and a test PC onto my network. Works for my needs. No setup.

Cons: Selected fast payment options for $1 but I still have not received my rebate after 4 weeks. Their website says processed and payment sent. Don't count on getting the rebate. Due to rebate issues I am deducting 2 eggs.

Other Thoughts: Lights appear to be backwards from my other ASUS 8 port switches. Orange=1000mb and green =100mb.

Rating: 3/5Not so great

Pros: Small switch. Small power adapter. Green (maybe?) Gigabit (so it says).

Cons: Erratic connections. Streaming video (360, netflix, youtube) times out or gives random errors. Data transfer speed doesn't feel like gigabit. Streaming and data copy is worse than the 10/100 switch it was meant to replace. Not impressed.

Other Thoughts: I got this for $10 after mail in rebate (still waiting for that, but I'm patient. Not the real complaint). My intention was to replace a 10 year old huge 16 port Linksys 10/100 switch I was using in the living room, it was way too big with annoying bright lights etc. Well, this is smaller, which is nice. But oddities popped up immediately. Signing into Xbox Live took forever. Downloads from Live seemed much slower. Netflix would throw errors on the 360 and my BR player, would eventually play if I kept retrying, but sometimes buffers excessively or times out. Copied some stuff to my HTPC and it worked but seemed slow. Final straw tonight, trying to sign into Xbox Live took FOREVER, then trying to watch a game video kept buffering over and over. I ripped it out of my cabinet and stuck "big old blue linksys 10/100" back in. Connection problems resolved INSTANTLY. Signed in quickly and video played no problem.

I have a gigabit router and running Cat 5e everywhere, don't feel it is a cabling problem. Going back to the old switch solved all my problems.

This thing is not reliable or fast. But it is cheap and small. It will be the last cheapo switch I buy, next one will be a name brand again.

Rating: 4/5It works

Pros: Small footprint. Runs cool. "Green" so hopefully will not suck too much power. AC adapter brick is a small one (some are huge).

Cons: 5 port switch nowadays really means 4 ports. 1 for uplink, 4 ports free to use. In the not so distant past devices used to come with a dedicated uplink port, so a 5 port swtich meant 5 available to use. I should have paid more attention. I wanted a 5 port and got a 4 port.

Other Thoughts: If I had paid closer attention and realized this, I would not have ordered it, and would have picked up a cheap 8 port instead. But the rebate already got mailed out, so too late. For $10 after rebate I can live with my mistake, use it for travel or something.

Rating: 3/5Had to call rebate center

Cons: You have to send in for a rebate to get the good price. The rebate website was not working properly and kept giving an 'invalid date' error. After a 5 minute phone call to the rebate center, I had the form to send in to claim the rebate.

Other Thoughts: It's already enough of a hassle to send in for a rebate - the website of the rebate company not working properly adds insult to injury.

Rating: 5/5Works Great.

Pros: I am using it as it was intended. My internet ready TV, PS3, Media Center all need their own connection. I come from my Asus Wireless Router over to them with a 50' Cat 5e cable into this ASUS switch and out to all three devices. It was plug and play and had no issues at all so far.

Cons: None, other than I wish all my devices had Wireless N on them and I would not need it.
